You know how to improve the lives of hundreds of children, why not do the same for thousands?

Like you, we have high expectations for every child, regardless of their background.

Here at Ofsted, we put the interests of children and students first and foremost, because we believe they deserve the best from their education. We are determined to be a force for improvement.

Join us as one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) and play a rewarding role in making that vision a reality. Our inspectors receive excellent training and professional development opportunities to work with a huge variety of providers and see their practice. Their valued expertise is then used to its maximum impact through inspection, by shining a light on good practice and challenging what needs to change. Our most experienced HMI may broaden their experience further by working on research and national policy initiatives.

We are looking for exceptional professionals from across primary (including early years) and secondary schools. Leadership experience will be essential; you might be a head teacher, deputy head or head of a secondary school department, and you will have a proven track record of improvement. Your knowledge of good practice will be complemented by the ability to translate analysis into clear reports and practical steps for improvement. An inspirational and credible communicator, you will be confident making judgements and passionate about improving outcomes.

Every person - and every organisation - is unique. We all have different goals at work. At Guardian Jobs, we bring together like-minded job seekers and employers to create a happier world of work for everyone.
